With funding from the National Science Foundation, Clough created 30 historical short stories designed to teach science content and draw students' attention to the nature of science for post-secondary introductory astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology and physics courses. He'll present the project rationale, story development and structure, freely available stories at the project website, ongoing research and next steps.
